| Ok, so I want more!! |
 |
| Wow......that was.....totally unexpected. My summer has just gotten much better.... I wonder what the price will be? It looks like the brothers are going to have to pay it. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

| O_O 5/5 awesome first episode, and suddenly my favorite show this season easily (By first episode standards, and usually I can't stand incest, but I'm willing to put up with it because the episode was just awesome, but damn that was creepy...). |

| "The R1 Anime business is a cruel and shallow financial trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." |
| after watching this I AM SO CONFUSED |
| haha I liked it. Coulda gona better but it was interesting. xD Penguin as a theme hmmm. When she was explaining the whole thing i was laughing cause she was moving all wierd like. This was one of the interesting anime and i plan to follow it (but i still don't get what the lil guys were suppose to do? The blue penguin were cute and all but why r they there? D:) anyways 4/5 |
 |
| Interesting, but weird. I need to see more to find out what's going on. I didn't like the kiss...it actually made me angry for some reason. Maybe it just happened too fast. |
| i dont really like the philosophical assertions this anime tries to make. "fate" is merely the last refuge for those who are unwilling to adjust or take "paths" that are least obvious or otherwise more difficult and arbitrary. even if you were to assume that god exists; pain and suffering that people endure is not evidence of god's cruelty or unfairness. of course it is all a matter of belief and perspective which is why i do not like the monologue in this anime. Especially since one person's pain could be another's pleasure, but that too is an entirely different matter. that was a bit more serious than i really needed to be but what interests me about this show is the condition for her revival, not their existential dilema. all in all, all his ramblings about how unfair life could be sounded like a whinny little kid who blames the rich for being so lucky to have been born that way...the worst kind of whining. |
| This might be worth the all the hype, it should be a fun ride, and I am glad we're getting a full season.(Perhaps two cour is more appropriate, not sure). |
| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
| That kiss/incest thing has something to do with that "Survival Strategy" / the "thing" that was got from Kan's chest |
| THANK YOU, IKUHARA-SAMA. I can't tell you how hard I fangirl'd at the visual direction. Every little thing, "Oh, Ikuhara~ This is so like you~~ Baha~" I'm actually a little embarrassed. Hmhm. This is undeniably going to be super awesome. |
| Old enough to realize now that this kind of shit is terrible. This opening episode is a blight on the face of anime, it would have been barely passable had it not been for the ending. If you truly enjoy that you need to re-evaluate your psychological well-being. Usagi Drop and Uta No Prince Sama etc are much better this season. |
| http://www.youtube.com/swiftstylez - My AMV's. I would really appreciate any comments and ratings :] |
| Really digging this show. The backgrounds, especially the house, were stunning and the soundtrack was very good. I liked the opening song and the ending animation. Also, i really enjoyed how the transformation sequence was reversed instead of going from being naked to fully dressed she went from dressed to being naked. ringoo4 said: llamaben said: All Japanese singers are as bad as she is, anyway.Pretty good so far.

 |
| I... what... huh... what... whhaaatttt? |
 |
| Well.................huh. That freaking made me go for a loop. Honestly, for the first time EVER in any Anime - I don't know what to say. But, ugh, incest - really? I do not know the director's work, seeing as some people do, but I have siblings myself and it just kind of makes me want to put this down and choose another Anime. But, at the same time, I want to know more and see what this Anime takes us to. So, all in all, good episode in general. But - I still have NO CLUE on what to comment about. So, we'll see what happens in the future, neh? |
| i haven't been mind f***ked like this in a while and its so fun and exhilarating |
 |
| Haters gonna hate, and those who do so drop this on the first episode have to get their screws checked over. THIS IS IKUHARA, this show blessed by the soul of Kawakami! This going to be one of the shows of the year, I swear. |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| lol after she said "Survival Strategy" I thought it was the ED song because music popped in xDD a lot of stuffs seems ridiculous to me... like sudden death drama scene, coming back to life with another person controlling, penguins and incest twist at the end... I wonder what kind of story are they portraying. I'll keep in touch with this show. |
| uh... wtf did I just watch? oh hey she died already..... sad .... oh wait she's back already. oh hey magical penguins cool. wait... magical penguins? wtf? oh hey.... wincest?! pretty weird... a little boring. 3 episode test I guess? |
 |
| hmmm.. i like it, i like this anime, but somewhat confused. i'm more curious in the conditions of what's keeping her alive. definitely a must watch for me :). |
tag©.androgynous  |
| 5/5, great first episode. Loving the art direction, music, and of course the penguins. Great blend of emotions. Went from heartwarming, to sad, to funny, to wtf without ever feeling too jarring. |
 |
| O_o o_O O_O LOL Yeah, and I actually like penguins. LOL |
 |
| Interesting ... =D ... when i saw the scene where Sho being followed by the penguin .. i laughed |
 |
| Exactly what i expected. |
| hate capital letters. deal with it. |
| OH my god! OH MYYYYYYYYYY GOD! What is this i just seen?RIRIRIAIRIARI DORGAS! Shaft? Who? |

LUUUV it :) 3-sided incest romance- siblings triangle, by the looks of it :) |
 |
| Well, I don't know if I can understand this show, but I'll keep watching this. the art style of this show was just awesome. |
| Yeshh; I want to have a penguin in the house, too. Looking forward for the next episode. |
| I loved this episode! The op is so awesome and the whole show has so much style! Despite the sad first half, the second half was pretty funny. I also really like the school uniform designs. My favourite first episode of the season so far! |
  |
| That was an interesting start, if nothing else. I'm not really looking forward to the other 23 episodes if this is all there is, but I heard that this first episode was supposed to be a bit of a troll. Of course, I'm not entirely sure that's true as I also heard that the penguindrum is a |
   Never doubt in Ikuhara. :P XeoN1221 said: Director from Star Driver and Utena, Must Watch though. Incest twist gives a good vibe. i guess. Star Driver was directed by someone else. If it was done by Ikuhara it wouldn't have been a disappointment. Swiftstylez said: Old enough to realize now that this kind of shit is terrible.

This coming from a guy who has a Naruto sig and said that Uta no Prince Sama is one of the best shows this season. LOL Oh the irony. Wait a second, your post was meant to be taken as sarcasm, my bad. :P |

DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  gooooood!!!!!!!!! 5/5 9/10 Ohhhhhh~ that's sexy *-* Can't wait to get the subbed release. I wonder if some fan service would be included on later episodes? |
| I quite enjoyed that, wasn't sure what it would be like but I think I'm going to enjoy it. Loved the Penguin's appearance scene, almost wet myself when it was chasing after "Blue Haired Bro" :P |
 |
| ...I have absolutely no idea what I just watched but I liked it This. This will be my favorite this season I think. |
I've got this burnin' like my veins are filled with nothin' but gasoline. |
| When I heard incest I was hoping it was between the brothers >.> |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| Very impressive episode. I have a feeling that with the thing about the apple and showing "ALIS in Wonderland" [Yes, that is how it saw shown in the show] that th series may become an amalgamation of various fairy tales. |
| What's the point of seeking new horizons if we couldn't observe, if not explore, what happens if a taboo is made manifest before our eyes? More than a century ago some works of literature we considered now as classics were then controversial, even going so far as to polarize opinion of the day. Heck, The Catcher in the Rye and Lord of the Flies, highly acclaimed now, were also eyed with suspicion at the time they were newly published. Why fear the unknown, even if you are not directly involved and thus part of the audience? We've been hungry, seeking for something unique, a diamond in the rough, the one that stands out in a sea of fail. Finally, the hardest question: what if you and your sister were the only ones left on the face of the planet? What would you do to survive? That is why incest, long considered a social taboo and a grave sin in some societies, has to be explored and properly understood. |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| if it ( Revolutionary Girl Utena ) Original Creator - Ikuhara Kunihiko - I'm Certainly watching it , the Op way to awesome and the first episode Gooooooood .... 5\5 |
| Let's see. We got a winning plot, or a winning premise as the case may be. Certianly quite nice, and there's a lot of good places they could go with it. Don't know why people are finding it hard to follow. Fantastic animation. Some mild and pleasant fanservice. Characters feel a little bland, but it's still episode one and we were focussing pretty heavily on the plot. All in all I gotta say I like what I see. |
| 1st ep and incest already... That incest serves what purpose exactly? Are we gonna end up with the blue haired twin being in love with the red haired one at this rate soon? I know 'tis just a beginning of the series, so I'm not going to jump to conclusions that fast and just drop it, but I hope we'll get a bit more of a solid story lurking behind rocky sequences and shocking revelations. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| The ED song is beautiful. Listening to the dark tone tune with ennui, I have a hunch this anime will be a post-"Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica". |
